The Croatia international had zero trophies to his name when he departed Spurs at age 26. His initial spell in Madrid was not too promising either, being named LaLigaā€™s worst signing that season.

Now, both of those statements couldnā€™t be further from the truth.

Modrić has made 537 appearances for the club in 12 years with a stunning 27 trophies to his name. Thatā€™s the most in club history and he now wears the captainā€™s armband.

His accolades also include winning the 2018/19 Ballon dā€™Or, and becoming the player to end the dominant Lionel Messi x Cristiano Ronaldo era.

Itā€™s safe to say his signing proved to be a great decision. What has been your favourite Modrić moment?
